Assistant Brewer, Sunshine Brewery, Gisborne

We might be New Zealand’s oldest independent artisan beer producer but we are young at heart. Our recently commissioned brewery is just up from the beach and its Taproom provides a focus for craft beer here in Gisborne. Our Sunrise Project range of beers have collected lots of medals and are increasingly well promoted in bars and liquor stores throughout NZ. We are looking for the person who wants to grow with us and help further Sunshine Brewery’s position as a premium and innovative craft brewer.

What you will be able to display to us is:

An unquestionable honesty and personal integrity.

A real love for great craft beer.

That you are psychically fit and able to undertake heavy work (dragging hoses, lifting kegs etc)

A willingness to learn and commit to the hard yards of cleaning, sanitation and other roles normally associated with brewery work.

That you are computer literate and can keep accurate records.

That you have a clean drivers licence and a current forkhoist licence.

You will learn how to clean (brewing beer is about sanitation), filter and transfer beer, bottle and keg beer and of course brewing beer once you have earned the right. You will become part of the brewery team so will have some customer contact as you may be doing deliveries or some hours in the taproom and eventually hosting customer tours. You will have an exceptional work ethic, a passion for good beer and the ability to communicate the virtues of craft beer. Not many opportunities like this hit the market, so get in and enjoy the glow of success.

Applications close when we find the right person. Only applicants who impress us will be contacted for an interview Check us out at www.sunshinebrewery.co.nz. CV’s to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We are accepting applications for a new sales role. Abbey Winery & Brewery and Aotearoa Breweries (Mata beer) are two growing winery and craft brewery businesses each with 10+ years in the marketplace. We are looking for a person to join our team and expand our sales and distribution in the Auckland region with a focus on increasing our off-premise and on-premise customer base and supporting our current customers.

Sadly one of our lovely crew is leaving and that means we need a new duty manager to join our small, passionate team. We're looking for someone who either loves craft beer, music or both! We have a diverse and ever changing lineup of beers so being able to discuss them with a familiarity with our patrons is key. We have live music throughout the week hosting international acts, kiwi bands and promoting local talent too. The position is part-time but we can guarantee regular hours (20-30) and a flexible approach to social time as well.

What we need from you is:

*Current managers certificate

*Ability to work nights and weekends

*Craft beer knowledge desired but not necessary, we can get you up to speed!

You'll be tasked with overseeing the daily operation of the bar, serving customers along with opening and closing duties. So if you want to be a part of a vibrant Newtown establishment or want to know more please get in touch! Applicants for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.

If you have the capabilities to be a multitasking superstar octopus, the ability to have a laugh with customers and colleagues whilst still focusing on the job in hand (or tentacle), have a solid work ethic that will be rewarded with very decent pay rate and great working conditions, love all things hospitality with a keen beer, wine or spirits focus... Then maybe, just maybe you could be the Cephalopod we are looking for. Send us your CV by email, Facebook DM, racing pigeon or take the old fashioned route and physically drop it in to us.

It's vital you have enough experience and knowledge of brewing and fermentation science principles to fill a 'keg'. You will understand features and key analytical parameters of the four essential brewing materials: malt, hops, water and yeast. You will have the ability to formulate beer and all grain spirit to produce various styles of beers and craft spirits.
